stream.aclose() not working properly? #459

When I modify the tutorial echo-client so that the sender closes the stream after one iteration, I expected the connection to close and the receiver to stop:

# echo-client.py

import sys
import trio

# arbitrary, but:
# - must be in between 1024 and 65535
# - can't be in use by some other program on your computer
# - must match what we set in our echo server
PORT = 12345
# How much memory to spend (at most) on each call to recv. Pretty arbitrary,
# but shouldn't be too big or too small.
BUFSIZE = 16384

async def sender(client_stream):
    print("sender: started!")
    while True:
        data = b"async can sometimes be confusing, but I believe in you!"
        print("sender: sending {!r}".format(data))
        await client_stream.send_all(data)
        await trio.sleep(1)
        break  # stop after one run
    await client_stream.aclose()  # Close stream

async def receiver(client_stream):
    print("receiver: started!")
    while True:
        data = await client_stream.receive_some(BUFSIZE)
        print("receiver: got data {!r}".format(data))
        if not data:
            print("receiver: connection closed")
            sys.exit()

async def parent():
    print("parent: connecting to 127.0.0.1:{}".format(PORT))
    client_stream = await trio.open_tcp_stream("127.0.0.1", PORT)
    async with client_stream:
        async with trio.open_nursery() as nursery:
            print("parent: spawning sender...")
            nursery.start_soon(sender, client_stream)

            print("parent: spawning receiver...")
            nursery.start_soon(receiver, client_stream)

trio.run(parent)

The server prints a connection closed but the client’s receiver() does not detect the stream being closed and does not finish.

I also found no other way to explicitly cancel the receiver() task when the sender() task is done.
